Which word in the sentence is a singular possessive of lizard formed correctly?

English

The correct answer is B: That lizard's eyes were small and shiny. All other options are wrong because the noun was turned into its plural form "lizards," which can't be used with the singular adjective "that." In addition, option C lacks a possessive form and option D includes an "s" after the apostrophe, which should not be used with nouns ending in s.

The correct answer is the option B. Possessive nouns demonstrate possession, ownership, origin or purpose. The singular possessive case is a singular noun or pronoun that indicates something belonging to that person or object. For a singular noun that does not end with an S, in this case, we have a lizard, add an apostrophe 's to the end of the noun to form the possessive. In that case, the singular possessive will be lizard's. It's not the option A, because it's not a noun that end with an S. This rule applies for singular nouns that end with an S, for example, you just add an apostrophe s ('s) to the end of the noun:  The meeting is in the boss's office. The option D is not correct because that rule applies for a plural noun that ends with S, for example, The doctors' offices are in a separate building. And the final option C, it's not grammatically correct as for possessives you need to add an apostrophe.

How does Esperanza's narrative voice relate to her story's content and her experiences during the year in which the novella is s
mash [69]

Answer:

Precise, witty, musical, and unclouded even in its tragic moments, Esperanza’s voice captures the mood of her surroundings and brightens the dreariest of situations with the mind’s eye and a pen. This strong, albeit young, voice unifies the extraordinarily wide range of themes and images portrayed in The House on Mango Street. Just as Esperanza amazes with her ability to maintain her optimism and focus on the future, so, too, does The House on Mango Street amaze with its ability to express wisdom in brevity and pride under oppression.

Explanation:

Growing up in the Latino section of Chicago, Esperanza is ashamed of the rickety house on Mango Street where her family lives, she is ashamed of her name (it is too Mexican), and she is ashamed of her poverty. As Esperanza grows from a girl into a young woman over the course of the forty-three short stories that comprise the collection, she gradually formulates her dream of one day owning a home that is physically and emotionally all her own. Brilliantly and adroitly, Cisneros, through Esperanza’s eyes, paints the good and the ugly—but always colorful—characters that inhabit Mango Street and teach the young Esperanza more than a young girl could ever need or want to know about life. Esperanza poignantly relates her own experiences and the adventures and tragedies of her neighbors and friends. Ultimately, as Esperanza sheds her innocence over the course of the novel, what started out as just a dream of owning a house of her own becomes a real possibility for her future.

From the Five Ws and One H strategy, which question helps to identify the people who are the subject of the historical text?
arlik [135]
The answer would be D. Who. It is not A because knowing why someone did something would not tell you who the person was, just tell you what they did. It is not B because when would just tell you the age of the person  or the year that the story took place. C would not be the answer because you need to know who is in a story not how the story came to be. If you can please mark brainliest and I hope this helps! Have a great day mate!

Hi leave reasons why you dislike studying but love learning down below!!!! Thanks
belka [17]

Studying relates to school and the negativity surrounding the topic. Most students do not enjoy going to school and since studying is mainly done for school it ends up having a negative correlation. It is also tiring because it is just repeating and memorizing information you already know. Learning on the other had you can do in and out of school. You can learn about things you enjoy and interest you which helps build a positive correlation with the topic. When you learn you are also taking in new information instead of repeating the same concepts over and over to memorize them.

Hope this helped! :))

Kamila [148]

Answer:

The imagery evokes an emotional response about strong family connections.

Explanation:

The historical novel "Pushing the Bear" by Diane Glancy is an exploration of the life of the Cherokee people removed from their own lands. This recounts an experiment of the Cherokee along their journey during the Trail of Tears.

As given in the passage, imagery is used by the narrator to describe the emotional response of strong family ties. The allusion to <em>"my grandmother’s scissors and her bone hairpin and shell beads"</em>, <em>"the bed my father helped Knobowtee make"</em>, <em>"the nutting stone and pestles"</em> and the <em>"grandmother's voice" </em>are all reminiscence of the family and the memories left behind. And the result of all these memories made the narrator faint out of grief.

Thus, the correct answer is the third option.
